Agriculture Gastronomy Future

In the shade of Şirince’s stone houses and olive trees

We are gathering to discover the true potential of these lands.

We are inviting researchers, producers, chefs, professionals, students, in short everyone who creates value in the fields of agriculture and gastronomy or is interested in the potential of these fields to Şirince on August 13–15.

A packed program where we talk about fields, the table, and our future

Our primary goal is to build a strong bridge between the food-agriculture sector and high-level talent capable of creating value in areas such as rural development and high value-added production, including: - high-efficiency agricultural practices, - building strong food brands from local products, - gastronomy and agro-tourism.

We invite everyone who believes in Turkey’s agricultural and gastronomic potential and wants to transform this potential into value to Şirince.

FAQ

Who organizes AgreFest?

AgreFest is organized by the Agre team. Agre was founded to meet the need for spaces dedicated to focus, reflection, and deep conversation—things that are becoming increasingly difficult to find amid today’s complexity and distractions. With this purpose in mind, for years we have been designing programs, gatherings, and learning experiences, especially in Şirince, that bring together people from different disciplines around topics such as entrepreneurship, agriculture, food, economics, and development.

Could I get information about the place where accommodation and meals will be provided?

If you selected the accommodation-included participation option, accommodation and meals will be provided at the Stoa Şirince campus.

Stoa is a venue that hosts festivals and workshops, featuring accommodation capacity for up to 150 people, a kitchen that prepares delicious meals, a lush green inner courtyard, an amphitheater, spacious work halls, and magnificent views.

I bought a participation ticket without accommodation; could you recommend a hotel for accommodation?

There are good accommodation options in Şirince and Selçuk. Based on our past experience, we can recommend the following hotels that can suit different budgets:

  • Güllü Konakları (Şirince)
  • Kallinos Boutique Hotel (Selçuk – may be suitable for access by car)
  • Kayserkaya Mountain Houses (Şirince)

How can I get to Şirince by public transportation?

Şirince is a village in the Selçuk district of İzmir. If you are considering traveling by public transportation, you can reach Selçuk directly by bus from İzmir and various other cities. From İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport, you can easily get to Selçuk by Havaş buses or by taking the İZBAN train with a transfer via Tepeköy. To reach Şirince Village from Selçuk, you can take the minibuses departing from the Selçuk Bus Terminal. The minibuses leave approximately every half hour and generally operate between 8:30 AM and 8:00 PM.

Can I come with my pet?

Of course! The doors of our event are wide open to our animal friends. For the safety and comfort of all our participants, we kindly ask that our animal friends be kept on a leash.
